Marantz SR- 7005 AVR

WOW! Simply great. Not being a true "techy" it can seem a bit daunting to set up, but the manual and Crutchfield Tech Support made the set up easy and the performance so far is outstanding for both movie/ surround and other music paltforms. Delivers very clear true sound.

Pros:Performance is great. Looks great , sleek modern design. Got a great price through Crutchfiled too.

Cons:Set-up a bit daunting at first but with a little study (manual) and one call with Crutchfield's Tech Support, all was set up and operating great.

A great receiver that's just short of perfection

I purchased the Marantz SR7005 to replace another ten-year-old Marantz receiver, and I'm pretty happy with the purchase overall. While the fit and finish of the SR7005 doesn't quite stack up to the decade-old model it replaces, features, sound and general aesthetics make it an outstanding value.

Without engaging any of the receiver's various Audyssey modes, amplification was both plentiful and clean - you should have no problem driving your 5.1 (or greater) speaker setup to levels that will have your neighbors calling the police. Engage Audyssey's room correction and you really start to see the value of the SR7005. Regardless of how much time and energy I'd spent adjusting my system's levels in the past, my speakers have never sounded this clean, focused and refined. In particular, my subwoofer's performance is now outstanding.

The SR7005 provides enough video and audio inputs for most systems, though in the rare instance that you have more than 5 HDMI sources, you may want to look elsewhere. The receiver's upscaling solution (the Anchor Bay model 2015 chip) does a great job upconverting SD sources to 1080p and provides enough customization to tweak less-than-ideal video signals (from, say, a cable box or older legacy player).

Thanks to intuitive menus and a great assortment of features, the Marantz SR7005 acts as a great home theater control center - while not quite future-proof, it should be capable of powering your system for years to come.

Cons:- build quality is acceptable, though I've come to expect more from Marantz (volume knob feels stiff / housing isn't particularly thick)
- could have used one or two more HDMI inputs
- while it features dual HDMI outputs, only one can be active at a time (if you're creating a multi-room setup, it will have to be analog only)

SR7005 Tidbits

This receiver is pretty impressive and well worth the investment. I found reading the manual carefully and taking the time to set it up with the on screen settings was worth it. I would of given it 5 stars and would buy it again, but as a discontinued model it is something to consider in terms of firmware support if there is an issue down the road. This review is on some tidbits of the SR7005 others may find useful to know.

I found no network issues and Airplay feature is rock solid if setup correctly. Running any receiver to a wireless hub as opposed to a wired connection to the router inherently introduces quality of service issues for audio streaming. It also helps to set on the router a fixed IP on the subnet for your Marantz's MAC address, and set QOS as most modern routers have, and set in Marantz options the network "on" in standby mode (if you want to turn it on with your smartphone remote app).

Depending on your set top box, you may or may not hear a difference in sound improvement by running optical cable besides HDMI. My IPTV box has an optical connection though didn't hear a difference in quality.

I have yet to see how the HDMI ARC function is useful with this receiver as any audio source output (HDMI audio portion, optical, component) can be input to the unit directly.

Pros:The extra phono plug for a turntable and optical output for recording to a CR recorder is a great touch.
The 12V trigger output is very handy. It requires (not included) a 3.5mm mono jack that is generally used to trigger external components on. I use it to trigger an ONKYO MT-282 Amplifier I use for Zone 2 whole house surround.

Cons:Marantz is discontinuing this model (and future "feature based" firmware updates). Though one can easily run Spotify, iHeartRadio, since most support airplay.
HDMI sources (such as Apple TV) will not decode the audio portion of the HDMI source directly to the zone 2/3 speaker outputs. You'd figure since HDMI 1.3 standard supports it would be included, its not (see page 70 of manual). Though it's a trivial solution in the Apple TV case, simply add the optical cable & set digital audio input.

Marantz SR7005

I bought this to complement my new Panasonic TC-P55VT50 TV. It is a very nice A/V receiver that offers a lot of connections and sufficient power to drive moderate-sized and many full-sized speakers properly. I bought it to replace a lower end Denon that was ok but didn't have some of the newer features available in the more current set of receivers. It can do everything from 2.0 to 7.1 speaker setup; I have a 5.1 setup that Audyssey automatically detected and set up and it sounds great.. You can bi-amp this as well if you don't feel this makes enough sound to disturb your neighbors. It turns out that Denon and Marantz are owned by the same holding company and share similar components, although they look quite different externally. Setup was easy enough although I thought Denon did a better job telling you where to place the Audyssey setup microphone than the Marantz instructions did. It turns out, however, that it makes little difference in which order you chose the different mic locations - Audyssey does all the hard work for you, It also told me that one of my surround speakers had reversed wires - nice! Although I initially wanted the ARC feature it turns out that you get much better audio by using a digital optical cable for your connection than relying on HDMI driven ARC. My sound quality improved noticeably when I used the optical audio connection and now I also get proper surround sound from my TV. [continued]

Pros:Another reason I switched to an optical cable was because the Marantz would episodically go silent when TV programming changed from a commercial to regular programming. I could make it go back on by turning the receiver off then back on again but it was an annoying fault that my older Denon never had.

Cons:The only other "issue" I should point out is that this Marantz generates a lot of heat and requires (per the manual) 12" of space above and behind the receiver for adequate ventilation. This is probably true of many of the more powerful receivers and amps so it's something to consider if you're considering upgrading a lower end system that creates less heat. Excessive heat is the enemy of electronics so don't even consider putting another component directly on top of it.
-1 star for sound issu

Excellent Receiver

This receiver is excellent and all you would ever need right now. It has a big "high end" looking face panel that I like much better than most. The set up is really easy considering how complex a unit this is. The audessy features really take your Tv/Movie watching to a whole new level that I wasn't capable of attaining manually. It's like I have new speakers! You wouldn't believe how much the dynamic volume/EQ feature helps create an amazing hometheater experience at any volume level, and what it does for on screen dialog is amazing. I also was quite suprised how much better my TV looks upscaling all video sources through the marantz, it even improved already hdmi high def sources. Sound qaulity is very good and what I really like with this receiver is that the volume control is just that, it seems to increase the overall volume and substance of the sound, I don't mean just sound level. It really just seems to expand the sound in a way that is something I haven't really had before. You can listen at pretty high levels without any fatigue. Once you do the free airplay update this receiver will stack up against any in this price range if not best them. I'm still discovering just how much I can do with this receiver. I reccomend this unit highly and I'm coming from a older, but higher end Denon and still feel that way about this one. Crutchfield was amazing as usual. I had a issue with the first recevier but it wasn't a problem when your dealing with Crutchfield. Thank You!

Pros:Sound quality, video quality, features and set up and of course looks!

Marantz SR7005 - more than I expected

Upgraded from a quality Denon AVR. Bought this receiver to pair with my new universal sacd/blue ray player and for the hdmi connections and networking. Yet the HD radio, Internet Radio (never knew so much was out there) and Police Fire and air traffic scanner features were a cool suprise. The Sound set up told me one speaker was out of phase and helped me correct it.

The Receiver immediately told me new firmware was available as well. I will say that you need to set up the Audyssey calibration prior to hearing the receiver - while that may seem obvious I thought I would turn it on, listen first and tweak the sound later but you should be aware of the fact there will be no sound until you calibrate!

Pros:Has everything you need and more for a great home theatre, DVD audio, sacd/blue ray experience - Easily ran my Ipod too!

Another Great Marantz AVR

Written By Marty G, Grants Pass, OR on Saturday, February 04, 2012

In 2010 I upgraded from a low level Denon AVR to a Marantz SR6004; the Denon was great but antiquated and the Marantz was a huge step up an it preformed awesomely until just before Thanksgiving of 2011 when it had a massive malfuction and had to go back to the factory for refurbishment. Normally this wouldn't have been a big deal but I was hosting a large group of family and friends for Thanksgiving and now had a subpar system for the NFL games and movies. I was just going to pick up the newer Marantz SR6005 AVR and then use it as a secondary unit in the family room as opposed to the main AVR in the home theater room. Of course they didn't have the 6005 they only had the 7005 (which I had my eye on anyway) so I picked it up thinking I could just return it after they fixed my 6004. Needless to say the 6004 is gone and the 7005 is rocking the house.

This receiver was so easy to setup, dialing in great sound with the Audyssey function, in less than 45 minutes I had everything up and running (Samsung 8000 series plasma, DirecTV, Marantz BD-7004, Xbox 360 and Airplay upgrade, and a Klipsch 7.1 speaker set-up) and sounding awesome.

The design is top notch and it functions flawlessly (so far). Music has great depth and clarity and when you put in a 7.1 Blu-ray it will rock your world; it also does great in 5.1 with the TV.

Pros:Ease of setup
Ease of use
Great remote
Tons of inputs
Music clarity
Insanely good Blu-Ray soundtracks

Marantz SR7005

This receiver replaced my 3805 Denon AVR and I was simply blown away by the sound quality. The SR7005 is a great match for my NHT T5 Evolution series speakers. Did I mention that Air Play is simply nothing short of awesome. I would have liked to have seen a remote with bigger characters however the free marantz wiz app on my iPad solved that problem.

Pros:Excellent build & sound with loads of great features. Easy set up right out of the box.

Unbelievably good

This summer I finally decided to upgrade from my Lexicon system and chose the Marantz SR7005 after listening to Home Theater Geeks on the TWiT Network. I replaced my gear with it a few weeks ago, and I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.

The unit is so good, I decided to upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1. The Audessy system makes setup very easy (no more sound pressure meter!) and it does a great job. I have never been happy with my subwoofer configuration, despite countless hours of fiddling with it. The SR7005 improved on my best effort in minutes.

The firmware update is an excellent feature, and I hope Marantz keeps them coming. It does take some time, but the 30 minutes it required was well worth it. This was especially true of the free AirPlay update.

At first, I thought the AirPlay update would be a gimic. Boy, was I wrong: I use it every day, and combined with the free Marantz iPhone remote control application it is a very helpful addition to my home. Turn everything off except the SR7005 and your ipod or iphone and you can still enjoy your music. This feature has me considering using the Zone2/3 feature so I can take advantage of it everywhere.

The remote disappoints: it has all the right buttons, but it will not let me add my Tivo or AppleTV codes to it so I cannot control them. This seems a huge limitation to me. Also, the remote is still IR instead of bluetooth or other RF signal, so the unit must be visible and within line of sight to the remote.

Excellent Audio/Video

I originally bought the AV7005 (processor) but found out that it does not play nice with my older Mitsubishi 73727 dlp (no picture). I returned it even after waiting for 8 weeks.After reordering it and 2 weeks have gone by, I didn't want to wait another week so I change my order to the SR7005 (it was in stock). Again, no video, but this time I thought to install a Monoprice brand Hdmi switcher between the tv and the hdmi output of the SR7005. Whala, it works, video at last!!!! I found a solution that fixes the video incompatibility of my older dlp hdtv. I was smitten by the sound and the looks of this receiver that I tried my best to find a solution to the video problem. I did not want to return this excellent sounding receiver. And I have had top of the lines Onkyo 875, Harman Kardon AVR 7300, Denon 3300, Pioneer Elite SC27 take turns in my A/V rack. Marantz SR7005 has satisfied me more than those receivers for audiophile type music and top notch dynamic movie sound!!!

Marantz SR7005 & Crutchfield

I have owned several receivers,a Pioneer & a Onyko and others. I am totally satisfied with the Marantz SR7005. I also wanted to thank ,the Crutchfield staff. Their professionalism and service is the best,I have encounted since I purchased my first stereo unit,in 1958. You have a happy customer.
Thanks.

Marantz SR7005

Written By Tim, Farmington, NM on Saturday, February 12, 2011

I recently got the Marantz SR 7005 receiver. It replaced my Sony STR DE705. The setup was definitely more complex with the updated technology, but the payoff if worth it. I have Polk RTiA9 front speakers - biwired, Yamaha NS-IW480C 3-Way in ceiling rear speakers, and Polk Audio DSW PROT 400 subwoofer. The clarity, depth and range of sound by far exceeded my wildest expectations. The highest highs are crystal clear and resonate a distinct timbre through the air. The base is thunderous and smooth without any distortion. I used the audissey multeq microphone to setup the initial sound and then fine-tuned the parameters of the music to each speaker through the on-screen display. I have blue-toothed tunes from my computer through the receiver and the music sounds incredible. The DMAX-2 feature definitely inproves the sound on some files, but not on all of them. If there is an error in the file, this system definitely brings it out and the sound comes out scratchy - definitely distinctly audible over this system as opposed to when heard on the computer speakers themselves. The remote control is a thing of beauty. I have been able to put my home cable box, television, the cd player, blu-ray player, and vcr remotes all onto the marantz remote, so I am not searching for a zillion different remote controls to control all of the different components. There is not a bad seat in the house with this receiver.

Marantz SR7005

This is without doubt the best AV receiver I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Brilliant design and very easy to use. There are a multitude of sound settings and I am still playing around with them. I hooked up everything with an audioquest HDMI cable and the wife and I can not believe how amazing the sound is. We hear portions of the soundtrack that were never audible to us before. Its just like the cinema. The unit looks clean and sleek and operates very quietly. The inputs at the back are astounding. Remote could be better quality though. internet connection was simple. I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. I can not say enough about how great it is. Sure you pay more but I know I have something that is amazing. Future proof too. If you can save up and afford to do it BUYYYYYYYYY

Audio Features

Fully Discrete 7-Channel Amplifier: The Marantz SR7005 AV
Surround Receiver is equipped with a power amplifier that plays back
high-fidelity sound in surround mode with equal quality and power for all
channels, true to the original sound. The receiver's power amplifier circuit
adopts a discrete-circuit configuration that achieves high-quality surround
sound playback. Each of the SR7005's seven amplifiers is built with the finest
discrete components, not off-the-shelf "Power Pack" ICs. As a result, each
amplifier delivers 125 continuous watts over the entire audio bandwidth
accurate, deep bass and natural, unforced mid and high frequencies. The Marantz
AV Surround Receiver's 7-channel amplifier is rated at 125 watts (into 8-ohms,
at 20Hz-20kHz, with 0.08% THD, driving 2 channels).

Current Feedback Topology: The Marantz SR7005 uses a high-speed
current feedback amplifier circuit for its preamplifier so that audio signals
from a Blu-ray Disc player and other equipment that support high-definition
audio formats can be amplified with high fidelity. Current Feedback technology
offers faster signal handling and extended frequency range.
Current feedback circuits track rapid sonic changes more accurately and thus
sound more natural. Current feedback topology insures astounding accuracy and
control even under high-drive conditions.

Isolated Audio Circuit Board: The carefully-optimized audio
signal path rests on a separate circuit board for maximum performance as well as
isolation from interferences generated by high-speed video processing.

HDAMs (Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Modules): The SR7005 utilizes Marantz's
proprietary HDAM (Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Module) circuits for dynamic music and
soundtrack reproduction. HDAMs combine the short signal path advantages of ICs
(integrated circuit) and op-amps (operational amplifier) with the superior sound
quality of separate circuit components. An HDAM's size is important, particularly in an A/V receiver where space is very
limited. Because HDAMs are discrete designs, Marantz engineers are free to
choose the parts best able to preserve the sonic details of your favorite
sources.

24-Bit, 192 kHz D/A Converters: The SR7005 uses
24-bit/192-kHz Digital-to-Analog converters for all channels. The 192kHz
sampling and 24-bit word length capabilities of the DACs allows you to play
high-resolution recordings and hear the increased clarity, detail and dynamic
range of those recordings.

Audyssey Technology: The Marantz SR7005 features a full
package of Audyssey audio technologies for optimal sound quality.

Audyssey MultEQ XT: Audyssey MultEQ XT technology helps
create an optimal acoustic profile for your home theater. Using the included
setup microphone, Audyssey MultEQ XT measures sound levels and adjusts
speaker configuration accordingly, making setup fast and easy. This room
acoustic measuring and correction system analyzes (via the included
microphone) the audio characteristics of your speaker system and your
listening environment at up to 8 measurement points and automatically
tailors the sound for top audio fidelity. You can set the Audyssey MultEQ XT
to one of the following modes.

Audyssey: Optimizes the crossover point, output
level, delay time, and equalization of all speakers based on speaker
frequency response, speaker location, and room acoustics.

Dynamic EQ: Audio engineers mix music and movie soundtracks
at reference levels much louder than typical home listening levels. At lower
volumes the human ear perceives sound differently; voices change, bass
dissipates, and the surround effect becomes less enveloping. Dynamic EQ
adjusts the frequency response curve based on volume to maintain consistent
bass output, octave-to-octave balance, and surround impact, resulting in
rich sound at any volume. You can set the Dynamic EQ to 0, 5, 10, or 15 dB.

Audyssey Dynamic Volume: Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves
the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs,
commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic
Volume addresses the issue of commercials that are too loud and movie
soundtracks with vast differences between soft and loud passages; the
results are more intelligible dialogue, loud passages maintain impact, and
soft whispers are heard clearly. When the volume level changes, Dynamic EQ
also adjusts the frequency response to maintain sound quality. You can set
the Dynamic Volume to Day (low), Evening (middle), Midnight (high), or off.

Audyssey DSX (Dynamic Surround Expansion): Audyssey DSX
is a scalable surround exposition system that adds new channels to improve
the surround impression. Based on research in human hearing, Audyssey DSX
add a pair of Wide channels in the front because that information is
critical in the rendering of a realistic soundstage. Audyssey DSX then adds
a pair of Height channels above the main front channels to reproduce the
next most important acoustical and perceptual cues related to soundstage
depth. In addition to creating these new channels, Audyssey DSX applies
Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the front and
side/back surround channels. The result is a much more seamless and
enveloping home theater experience.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP): The Marantz SR7005 is
equipped with a high-resolution SHARC 32-bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP). All
elements of the Surround Processor are optimized to the highest standards by the
use of selected high performance and discrete components, particularly the A/D
and D/A converters and the sophisticated DSP surround decoder. The SR7005 is
equipped with various surround modes to reproduce a variety of surround sound
effects, according to the content of the source to be played. The AV surround
receiver features Dolby Digital and DTS-HD decoding, as well as offers Dolby Pro
Logic audio processing.

Note: Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be
selected if your audio source is connected to the A/V receiver via a digital
audio connection (HDMI, optical, or coaxial). To enjoy true 7.1ch Dolby
Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD surround sound, the receiver must be connected to
your Blu-ray player via HDMI.

Surround Parameters: You can adjust the following surround
mode parameters:

Dolby Pro Logic II Music Settings: While listening in
the Dolby Pro Logic II Music format, there are three further enhancements
you can adjust:

Panorama: Broadens the front stereo image to the
surround speakers to provide a wraparound effect, especially effective
when there is limited output from the surround channels, panorama can be
turned on/off in the menu.

Dimension: Allows you to move the sound field
forward or backward.

Center Width: Allows you to adjust the width of the
center channel.

Center Image: In the Neo:6 Music mode, the Center Image
feature adjusts the output of the left and right channels relative to the
center channel, allowing you to make the center channel more or less
dominant as needed. This improves the image of the center channel,
especially when the listener is off-center. Adjustment varies from 7
(nothing subtracted from the L/R channels) to 0 (L/R channel output is cut
in half).

Source Direct: In this mode the 2ch audio signal is
played in its original form, without any surround or tone processing.
Multichannel audio signal is played in its original form, without any tone
processing.

Pure Direct: This mode is for playback in higher sound
quality than in Direct mode. The display and analog video circuitry are
turned off to minimize the possibility of any noise being added to the
signal.

Center Image: You can also adjust the Center Gain to
expand the sound image from the center channel in DTS NEO: 6 mode.

Center Width: The Center Width feature allows you to
gradually spread the center channel sound into the front left and right
speakers in Pro Logic IIx mode.

Dimension: This feature adjusts the sound-field either
towards the front or towards the rear of your system. This can be useful to
help achieve a more suitable balance from all the speaker with certain
recordings in Pro Logic IIx mode.

Panorama: Panorama wraps the sound of the front left
and right speakers around you, for an exciting perspective in Pro Logic IIx
mode.

LFE Level: This function selects the output level of
the LFE signal included in the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal. You
can select from 0 to -10 dB.

HT-EQ: The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be
excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home.
This is because film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie
theater environments. Activating the receiver's HT-EQ feature when watching a
film made for movie theaters corrects this and restores the correct tonal
balance.

M-DAX: This function makes up for lost audio content in MP3,
WMA, or AAC sources during playback. It can be set to High or Low.

Tone Control: You can adjust the tonal quality of the sound by
adjusting the receiver's bass and treble independently from -6 to +6 dB.

Source Level: This function corrects the playback level
(+/-12db) of the selected input source's audio input. Make this setting if there
are differences in the input volume levels between the different sources.

Volume Settings: You can adjust the unit's maximum volume,
power on level, and mute level.

Speaker Terminals: The SR7005 provides 11 pairs of high
quality four-way binding post speaker connectors (front A, front B/front-height,
front-wide, center, surround, and surround-back speaker channels). This lets
you connect speakers for a full 7.1 system in your main room, add height and/or
wide speakers to that system, and still have connections left over for speakers
in different zones. So when you choose different surround modes, or opt for
stereo throughout your home, or a combination of the two, you don't have to
disconnect or reconnect any speakers. Simply let the SR7005's microprocessor
route the appropriate signals to the proper speakers. The binding posts can accept bare wire, pin connectors, and
single banana plugs. The terminals are spaced too far apart for dual banana
plugs. The collar surrounding the binding post terminals prevent the use of
spade connectors.

Bi-Amp Connection: A bi-amp connection is possible
with speakers that have two set of inputs by combining the Front A and
Surround Back speaker connections. This allows you to drive the treble
and bass units with separate channels amps, which enable better sound
quality. The surround back channels of the amplifier will need to be
turned off to bi-amp your front speakers. This configuration will limit
your Home Theater to 5.1- channel.

Front B/Height Speakers: The Marantz SR7005 features Front B/Height
speaker terminals which can be used as a second pair of speakers in another room
(playing the same source), or used as Front Height speakers for added surround
sound depth in Pro Logic IIz mode or Audyssey DSX mode.

Front-Wide Speakers: The SR7005 features a dedicated pair of
Front-Wide speaker terminals to add a wider, broader surround sound experience
to your home theater in Audyssey DSX mode.

Digital Inputs/Output: There are
2 coaxial digital inputs and
3 optical digital inputs (one on front). The inputs accept digital audio signals
from a compact disc, DVD, Blu-ray, or other digital source component. There is
also 1 optical digital output. The digital output can be connected to a CD or
DVD recorder.

Preamp Outputs: The SR7005 features Front left, Front right, Center,
Surround left, Surround right, Surround Back left, Surround Back right and two
Subwoofer preamp outputs to connect the receiver to external power amplifiers.

7.1 Channel Input: The SR7005 features a 7.1 Channel input (Front
left, Front right, Center, Surround left, Surround right, Surround Back left,
Surround Back right and Subwoofer) for connecting a DVD Audio player, Super
Audio CD multi-channel player, or other component that has a multi-channel port
so you can playback the audio with 5.1 channel or 7.1 channel surround sound. If
you will not be using the 7.1 channel input with a multi-channel decoder,
you can use the front and left inputs as an auxiliary input.

Headphone Output: The receiver features a 1/4" stereo headphone jack
on its front panel for connecting a pair of optional headphones. The unit's
speakers will automatically be turned off when a set of headphones are
connected.

Video Features

10 HD Inputs: The Marantz SR7005 is equipped with ten HD
inputs. Six HDMI (ver.1.4a) inputs (up to 1080/24p capable) let you connect a
high-definition satellite receiver, Blu-ray Disc player, and game system for
high definition video and audio. Four component inputs (1080/60i capable)
provide added HD-capable connectivity and versatility.

HDMI (ver.1.4a): The receiver is equipped with six HDMI (ver.1.4) inputs
(one on front) for connecting HDMI-equipped audio/video components. All six HDMI inputs are capable of carrying uncompressed digital audio and
video up to 1080p. There are two HDMI (v.1.4) outputs which allow you to
transmit the same video signal to two televisions (one at a time only). The HDMI
output 1 supports the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function. All HDMI (v.1.4)

HDMI Upscaling: The Marantz AV receiver features a
high-precision Anchor Bay (ABT2015) 10-bit video scaler. The ABT2015 10-bit
processor, Anchor Bay's fourth-generation video engine, provides exceptional
performance including transcoding, deinterlacing, and scaling to give you the
flexibility and convenience you need to connect and display all your audio/video
components. The SR7005 can take an analog
video input (composite or component) and up-convert it to HDMI so the video
signal can be passed through the receiver's HDMI terminal to your television via
a single HDMI cable up to 1080p. The Marantz SR7005 will also upscale incoming
lower resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i) HDMI video signals to 1080p through
the receiver' HDMI monitor output. The receiver's HDMI inputs and monitor output will support
480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video signals.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature allows audio to be
sent from your compatible HDTV to your receiver through the same HDMI cable
already being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This eliminates the
need for extra cables connected to your television.

HDMI Standby Pass Through: The HDMI Standby Pass-Through
feature allows you to choose which HDMI input remains accessible when the
receiver is powered off, so you can view back an HDMI source on your TV even
when the receiver is in standby mode. You can select between any HDMI input or the Last HDMI input you were viewing when you turned the
receiver off.

Convenience Features

Front Panel Design: The receiver's front panel features a combination
of aluminum extrusion and glass-reinforced resin which shields internal
circuitry and absorbs internal and external resonances. The front panel is
clean, precise, and inviting. Volume and input selection knobs flank a round
volume/source display. A drop- down door hides secondary controls and connectors
to maintain that classic look while providing easy access to the extensive
features of the SR7005.

On-Screen GUI + Front-Panel Display: The receiver incorporates an on-screen
color GUI (Graphic User Interface) menu system which makes various operations
and menu selections visible on your connected television set. To view
the on-screen GUI, you will need to connect the Monitor Out jack of the
receiver to the composite, component video, or HDMI input of your television. In addition to the round
volume/source display centered on the front panel, there's a second and even more
comprehensive source of information behind the panel's drop-down door. This
display shows menu choices for custom setup and other data to help you get the
most out of your new A/V receiver.

Multi Zone: The SR7005's Zone System mode
allows the same audio/video source or different audio/video sources to be heard
and viewed in other
rooms other than where the receiver is installed. The Marantz AV receiver
features a Main Audio/Video Zone (Main), a Second Audio/Video Zone (Zone 2), and
a Third Audio Only Zone (Zone 3).

Main Zone: The Main Zone contains 7.1-channel playback of your audio/video gear in your
main entertainment room.

Audio/Video Zone 2: The Audio/Video Zone 2 allows audio/video
playback of another audio source connected to the receiver in another room
of your home via left/right RCA audio output and composite or component
video connections to a separate amplifier and display monitor. The SR7005 AV
receiver's Surround Back Speaker outputs can be assigned to Zone 2, so you can
power a set of speakers in another room of your home without the use of a
separate amplifier. You must turn off the Surround Back channels of the
amplifier when using the receiver's multi-room speaker outputs, which will limit
you to 5.1 channels in your main room.

Audio Only Zone 3: The Audio Only Zone 3 allows audio playback of another
audio source connected to the receiver in another room of your home via
left/right RCA audio output connections to a separate amplifier. The SR7005 AV
receiver's Surround Back Speaker outputs can be assigned to Zone 3, so you can
power a set of speakers in another room of your home without the use of a
separate amplifier. You must turn off the Surround Back channels of the
amplifier when using the receiver's multi-room speaker outputs, which will limit
you to 5.1 channels in your main room.

Note: Zone 2 & 3 will playback tuner,
analog, digital (PCM only), network, and USB sources. Zone 2 & 3 can only
playback PCM (2-channel) audio input from the receiver's digital
(optical/coaxial) terminals. Zone 2 will only output video from the receiver's
composite video inputs. You must currently be listening to a USB device or
Network audio source in the Main Zone to initially select USB or Network as a
source in Zone 2. Then you can switch the Main Zone to any source you desire.
You cannot select different AM/FM radio stations or different Network content
for different zones. To hear Airplay in Zone 2/3, the Main Zone must
also be playing Airplay. You can have other sources playing in Zone 2/3 when
the main zone is using Airplay. HDMI cannot be output to Zone 2 or 3. Zone
3 does not output any video sources.

Front Panel Lock: You can lock all the controls on the front
panel of the unit, accept for the Power button, to prevent anyone else from
changing the settings on your receiver.

Input Name: The names of the receiver input functions can be
changed as desired. The maximum number of characters that can be registered for
the names is 8, including spaces. The function names that you register will
appear on the unit's display.

Last Function Memory: This function store the settings which were made
before going into the standby mode. When the power is turned back one, the
settings are restored.

a universal learning remote control. The remote features a adjustable backlit
LCD window which displays information about the sources and modes selected from
the remote control. The remote control's buttons are also backlit with a press
of a button. This remote is preset with remote codes for Marantz AV components. The remote also contains codes
for other manufactures which can be programmed. In addition, the remote control
is capable of learning and storing codes used by other remote controls (this
remote is capable of learning around 160 codes). You can use the remote control
to program a series of button operations in sequence. This remote can remember
up to 6 macro functions; each macro can record a maximum of 10 steps.

following custom remote inputs/outputs.

Flasher In: This 3.5mm input is used to control the SR7005
from each of its zones from an external key-pad (sold separately)

DC Trigger Output: The two DC trigger outputs (3.5mm) allow
you to connect two external devices so they can be turned on by the SR7005.

Remote In/Out: These RCA input/output connectors allow you
to connect the SR7005 to a Marantz component equipped with remote control (RC-5)
terminals.

RS-232C: The RS-232C port is to be used in conjunction with
an external controller to control the operation of the unit by using an external
device. The RS-232C port may also be used in the future to update the operating
software of the unit so that it will be able to support new digital audio
formats.

Bluetooth Ready: Through its proprietary M-Xport, the SR7005 offers Bluetooth
capability. Simply add the optional RX101 Bluetooth adaptor (642RX101, sold separately)
to the SR7005 and you can play the music stored on any Bluetooth-enabled
portable device (your iPhone, iPod Touch, or PDA for example) through your home
theater system. The optional RX101 doubles as an IR (infrared) receiver so you
